captain andy's sailing

*this post contains sponsored links. all opinions are my own.

i've been back from hawaii for a month and still haven't finished blogging about it (monkey embarrassed emoji).

with 8 people on the trip, people had various ideas of what they wanted to do. some wanted adventure, some wanted to relax, some wanted to explore, and some wanted a mix. somehow all 8 of us decided to go on a catamaran tour of the island. the weather on the trip (and especially that day) wasn't exactly stellar. we had a lot of rain and clouds. the weather the day of our boat tour was stormy so we couldn't make it around the whole island, but we still had a really great day.

the sun was out when we first got on the boat

laurann, me, tiffany, kristi, cheryl, julie, jessica

after being on the boat for a little while, it started getting cloudy

and then rainy

once we got to a certain point in the ocean, we sailed for a while

my favorite part of the day was seeing a lot of dolphins right beside the boat

i was sad we missed the nepali coast, but 20 foot waves didn't seem worth it. the parts we did see were really pretty

jessica, cheryl, laurann, kristi getting ready to snorkel

the rain made everything cold and the water a little murky so tiffany and i skipped snorkeling

we saw a big sea turtle also right beside the boat

even though the weather wasn't as good as we hoped, we still had a really fun day.
